2000 Lotus Esprit review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
The car runs as reliable as my 2000 Mercedes S-Class. Now, that's saying a lot.
I often trade my cars in every 6 to 12 months for something else. Not this time. The only car this Esprit would be getting the trade on is another one.
